I have this firewire enclosure, will work in win xp pro with 40 gig maxtor but not the west dig 120 gig i first tried on it.
So it works, but i'd like to find the brand and get a firmware update for it and drivers for 98se.
I'd like to use this in a win98se box i still use for older printer and scanner, even some games and other stuff, win98se is not dead yet! (I had that same install of 98SE running 8 hrs a day for 4 yrs without a re-install) Course now i only use it once in a while.
I googled the numbers(even parts of the numbers) i found on it, no luck at all.
Outside casing: Outside casing is opaque plastic, almost clear, and its got 4 blue-grey rubber feet on it.
Front:
Front is opaque grey, kind of like a light black even, with a clear on/off button on it on the right hand side.
Inside casing is metal, top slides off with some effort.
Back:
Left to right is: power, then fan, then two firewire connectors, then 2 audio connectors(chrome with white and red inserts)
It also says "FAN" right in the middle of the fan (I know, duuhh)
Numbers:
on the back: 0147 OWCMFW5R (the 5 could even be a S maybe)
stickers on back: made in China CE
Inside: TT 535FX10147HC1K0017
On the green board that services the ide connector: 000B533 290601 01281 3537-2053
That board has only very small capacitors and even smaller chips on it.
There is another board, thats the one with the big caps on it, its got a piece of metal covering it and i would have to take it all
apart to read some numbers, except i got this:
MODEL: APD-9507-P5 I think this may only be a winding, possibly, but its got its own plastic covering, the shrink type sort of.
i found a sticker tucked way down inside and under and peeled it off. This gave me REXON TECHNOLOGY CORP
google gave me this:

This gave me part # CA-805PFW1
The part number led in turn to only one place, here:
https://www.atlaz.com/Merchant2/merc...Code=CA-805PFW
Code: CA-805PFW
they are in new york INWOOD NY toll-free 1-888-437-3329
And it appears that it is the oxford 911 chipset, which i have heard is the best. If i recall when i installed it in win xp it said it was an oxford 911
Does win98se automatically these firewire enclosures or do i have to find drivers for win98se?
And i still likely need to find out where to find firmware updates for oxford 911 chipsets.
Can anyone help me with this?
Can i post a pic here and if so how would i go about doing this?
Thanks for any help i can get with this.
